About

For me, art is like adding a bit of life to every corner. I get excited mixing age-old Indian styles with my own twist - whether that’s a big canvas or tiny Diwali ke diyas (lamps). My work is all handmade, right from the first brush stroke to the last tiny detail.

Heritage, Apna Style

I love diving into traditional Indian art forms and giving them new meaning. Some favourites:

• Kerala mural painting and Theyyam - the energy, the colours, the whole vibe is something else. Kathakali faces too, I try to catch all those dramatic expressions.
• Kalamkari hand painting - the patience needed for those tiny lines and earthy peacock motifs is real, but it’s worth it.
• Mandala wall art - sometimes I go all cosmic, sometimes just black and white zentangle, or play around with single colours like blue or green.

Gods, Stories & Custom Work

Lots of my art is inspired by Hindu deity artwork - Ganesha, Lakshmi, you name it. If you have a particular god, colour, or a size in mind, I’m always up for custom pieces. Bas, batao (just tell me), and we’ll figure it out together.

How I Do It

Mostly, I stick to Fevicryl acrylic paints and Brustro brushes on canvas or thick paper. Simple setup, but that’s what lets me focus on the real stuff - bringing your ideas and our heritage to life.
